Lyrics: James Hooper
Music: James Hooper
I know I could be on TV
Mama, Imma make it you just gotta believe me
If you ain't been broken, don't tell me that this is easy
I was on my own, but my God didn't leave me, leave me (uh)
That's my ride or die
I jumped out the window, like Poppa look I can fly
Had to wipe the tears, I promised I wouldn't cry
Suddenly I just feel so alive
I know you can feel the pain
I know you can feel the shame
I don't even call no more and I promised I wouldn't change
I just had handle some things, I went on my own
Now I got some battle scars I never wanna show
If it wasn't for the prayer
I would not have made it, I keep pulling back the layers
Couldn't catch a brake, well who said that life was fair (well who said that life was fair)
I know I, I just can't let it go
I had too much pride
I had times I ain't wanna be alive
I had days where I lost my mind
But God took me home
Now I'll never be alone (um)
Pressure on my back
I know someone want me gone (um)
Since '96, Sir I can't remiss
Do you see me
Mama, Imma make it you just gotta believe me
If you ain't been broken, don't tell me that this is easy
I was on my own, but my God didn't leave me, leave me (uh)
That's my ride or die
I jumped out the window, like Poppa look I can fly
Had to wipe the tears, I promised I wouldn't cry
Suddenly I just feel so alive
Mama I can make it if I try
Mmmm Imma put my best foot forward when I'm stepping off the roof 'cause I can fly
I promise it's better for you and I
I told you I would make it on the radio
Even when nobody else would ever play me though
We was down, but now it's up, the only way to go
I'm so glad I get to see that this the way we grow, yeh yeh yeah
Mmm I hope I make it out alive
Help me put my pride aside
You can look me in my eyes
And see I need you by my side
I need you to say to me
That you still pray for me
I need you to hold me down
Don't you give up on me now
Do you see me
Mama, Imma make it you just gotta believe me
If you ain't been broken, don't tell me that this is easy
I was on my own, but my God didn't leave me, leave me (uh)
That's my ride or die
I jumped out the window, like Poppa look I can fly
Had to wipe the tears, I promised I wouldn't cry
Suddenly I just feel so alive
You can't see what I see, no laser
Ima meet Em, Ellen, Bey, that's major
This my time, in control, this the Matrix
I ain't even speak, I was down, I left
Now it's time to whip back, dominatrix
I don't ever listen when they tell me I'm inpatient
Cause they wasn't with me when the living room was vacant
New shawty, digging up my past but that's ancient
New shawty got greener grass, nice pavement
Now she wanna tell me that we wanna buy a Villa (hm)
I don't trust that, guard up armadillo (hm)
I don't even know what you look like without concealer
